Dance to You! at Oasis — A Haven for Women and Children



In October of 2024, Dance to You! was honored to have the opportunity to perform for the children of Oasis – A Haven for Women and Children located in Paterson, New Jersey. Oasis is a nonprofit organization that supports women and their children with hot meals and clothing as well as educational programs and social services as they break the cycle of poverty and work towards a brighter future.


We began our session by teaching the children all about dance, including its characteristics

as both an art form and a sport as well as the many different genres of dance from all around the world, through an interactive presentation. We then performed a segment of ballet variations and a pas de trois from the ballet Raymonda, followed by a lesson of the five basic positions in ballet and even how to do a pirouette and a leap! Continuing on with the performance, we performed various contemporary solos and concluded with a group jazz piece! 



We had the best time teaching, performing, and dancing with the children of Oasis and were blown away by their amazing energy, enthusiasm, and gratitude for our visit!!!
